All of our
model ships and boats are handmade from scratch.
They are built by very skillful and experienced craftsmen. They are also built according to the scale of the original full sized ships. We do this through the use of original plans or pictures and use a plank on frame construction method. The hull of our ships are joined by multiple pieces of dry thin wood.
Inside of the hull, we use a special glue that is imported just for this purpose. The glue makes the wood strips stay close together so that they will not split, crack or twist which can happen due to weather changes or humidity changes.
Our models are built completely for raw materials, NOT kits. We recommend that you purchase a display case for each
model ship that you purchase to protect it from harm.

Everyone Loves Model Ships
Is there a specific time and place in history that you're drawn to? Do you relate closely with an historical incident in the past? Are you inspired by tales of the
Vikings or stories of pirates? Did you like to hear about Huckleberry Finn's adventures as a child? Have you got a grandfather that served in the second World War whom shares stories of the ships he spent time on, or tales of the triumphant battles he fought in? Or maybe you have an enthusiasm for kayaking, sailing, speedboats or other sport or watercraft? Connecting with this magic brought into movement with these questions is confirmed by owning one of these beautiful wooden model ships for yourself. Even if you're not particularly fond of
